Started my Friday with the news of the passing of Soupy Sales. If you are under the age of 35 or 40, you may not know who he is or was. I'll admit it...I'm nastalgic. I often pine for the days of my youth when being on TV was an event and sometimes you'd even see the TV & comedy pioneers on talkshows wearing tuxedos! Soupy was a goofy, funny, charming "kid's show" host. I've posted some Youtube vid for your amusement. Note how corny some of this stuff is! That's what makes it cool! Charming, innocent, corny and even entertaining for adults! We need more "Soupy's"
